OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM BERGEN COUNTY EXECUTIVE JIM TEDESCO

“I am deeply disappointed by New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s decision to resume congestion pricing. Her temporary postponement in June was nothing more than a political maneuver, and bringing it back now shows the same disregard for the impact on the greater New York metropolitan area. This revised $9 tax is STILL a shameless money grab by the MTA to patch up years of financial mismanagement—at the expense of New York City’s neighbors.
